The Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature System 2 piece (the one with the bass modules) can be had used in your price range for 3-4K (5K new).
I own a pair of these, and I can honestly say that I have not heard anything I have liked *as much* until you get to the Von Schweikert DB99 mk IIs, (and they are just shy of 10K a pair new). There are better speakers I have heard above 10K, but value-wise, the Tylers are tough to beat. Definitely worth seeking out a home audition, IMO.
One other possibility in your price range used would be the Dali Helicon800s (4K used, 6K new). I rate the Tylers as better, but these did stand out from the rest of the pack at their price point, and they are sold in stores (so they are more readily available for audition). Also worth a look, IMO.
